Personally said the season was over after drawing with PNE. When Sheffield Utd win at Ashton Gate tonight, then yes it’s done.

Not over until it's over, but now very unlikely.

Ok, fair enough. Still think we should wait until beginning of next season before we worry about how much of a struggle it's going to be. Wait and see who goes, and who comes in.

The game is largely irrelevant - they were superior - it’s the games against like for like - some players who have little value in the transfer market aren’t good enough and need replacing

Yeah I have enjoyed it myself and the lads put in plenty of effort.

I have no faith in the owners to do their bit moving forward though.

Can't expect MR and the recruitment team to have yet another season next year where we kick on even more despite extremely limited investment.

it’s obviously a concern though - if we sell the likes of hamer and o hare and have to find cheaper replacements abs be left with the likes of Allen Hyam rose etc who are only here as no other championship club wants them as well has having squad players on huge wages no one wants either - come on it’s a concern

Some players who are potentially worth a few £ were poor today, is that why the game is irrelevant?

Ultimately outclassed by a side with an average salary of 27k a week. We've punched above our weight this season and played some good stuff.

Even today, we had the better of the first half but the difference was a clinical striker.

We have to wise up next season. Bournemouth were timewasting and punting it long after 4 minutes. We cannot seem to play against those tactics.

Who would you sell in the summer that aren't good enough for the Championship?

Think we can all agree bringing Championship quality players is going to be tricky

Yep they are. Good on them. They learnt from last season. We need to follow the same path.

Losing games like this hasn’t cost us. It’s the lesser teams we haven’t beat. We are only talking a few points here

why does everyone lump us In with Barnsley? Our progression has mirrored Luton, or even the way Blackburn and Millwall have been in this league?

Lads we lost to a team with a few players who probably cost more than our squad did and are bankrolled by an oligarch.

This season has had more ups than downs. If you'd said to me in August we could of technically been in the play off race in April we'd all have taken it.

Onwards and upwards and all that

Yes and we are a season behind them, so why can’t we do a Luton next year.

Ok let’s just get to some of the gist of it here

Jamie Allen is a poundshop Callum O hare.

Liam Kelly is a Poundland Gustavo Hamer

next season pound shop will still be here the luxury end will be gone

That’s it really isn’t it

We can, we just shouldn't expect it. Also, Luton have gone about it in a different way in terms of the way they play etc.

I hope they do well though and it would be great to see them make it to the Prem.
